Preparing for the razor’s movement

Shaving creams, gels and foams aim to support the shaving gesture through different textures and preparation methods. The amount of water and the time specified in the directions influence the experience. Choose a product intended for the relevant area; a scented washing soap does not necessarily replace a suitable shaving preparation.

Separating fragrance from post-shave comfort

An aftershave balm and a scented lotion can feel very different on freshly shaved skin. Examine ingredients and application restrictions, especially where irritation or small cuts are present. Matching a personal fragrance may influence a purchase, but that preference should not obscure how the product feels when applied directly to the skin.
